[mythtv-users] Autostart of MythTV as myttv user

According to /etc/inittab:

id:5:initdefault:

On initial boot, it auto-login's as user "mythtv" and run "blackbox." 
Nothing else happens.  If I logout, it goes to a GUI login screen and if
I login as mythtv, it will auto-start mythfrontend.  Just as it does if
I cycle the init levels.
